    Funny though isn't it? His wife can barely speak English. If we had a president like him at the time she immigrated here, he would have given her the boot. Such hypocrites. "The I've got mine, screw the rest of you" attitude. I truly wonders what Melania thinks about all this.

    Starting to, eh? Maybe you missed the past election season with the GOP NeverTrumpers. It's nothing new, just another battle for The Don to emerge in glorious victory.

    Idiot think that by requiring English fluency, we can have mostly white immigrants.

    Good thing most folks in Africa, India and Asia have a lot of English in their brains.

    My Italian grandmother and Armenian grandfather came here 100 years ago, learned English, worked hard, and opened a dry cleaners. My father was never taught to speak either Italian or Armenian because he was told to be an American and succeed a person has to speak English, he worked 2 jobs until my grandfather died and he took over the dry cleaners at which time he managed to open a second store. My grandparents and father didn't root for Italy during WW2, soccer games, ping pong tournaments, or tiddly winks. For my grandparents, coming to America was like getting married, they dedicated themselves to their new home and discarded their old lives except in memory. No one in my family ever leeched off the government.

    Why do you think that non whites can't speak English or are incapable of learning it? The soft racism of the left is at it again.

    Big f***ing deal. My family came over in the 1600s. We have bled on battlefields all of this country, and the world ever since, for this country. BUT WE DO NOT BEGRUDGE NEW IMMIGRANTS THAT CAN'T SPEAK THE NATIVE TOUNGE. WE WELCOME THEM.

    Most Europeans learn English just as a matter of normal curriculum.

    They're also clean and articulate too.

    So it was your family who evicted the Indians from their lands and went on to own slaves. Got it.

    Last week we had a thread bashing White Europeans about how they conquered the natives and took over the place. Now look at you, you're proud that you did it.

    It was my family that started fighting in Kings Phillips war, fought for the north, fought in Mexico, and fought all over the world to make the country you just arrived in.

    Excuse? I know for a fact that contractors I've hired use illegals. It's just a fact of life in the US now.

    Can you prove that you have never hired illegals?

    Well, that's quite simple. Learn about American culture and participate in it. Leave the old world behind and change your primary allegiance to the U.S.

    Most of my family came from Scandinavia and Germany from 1850 to 1900. I'm a fourth and fifth generation American, depending on which side of the family we're talking about. I cannot name one Scandanavian or German custom. I'm fully "Americanized". When I was a kid, I played Little League baseball and was in the Boy Scouts. I've been to more church suppers than I can count. I've been to a Super Bowl and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I celebrated our Bicentennial in NYC in 1976. I'm completely American. And I'm not hyphenated.

    Oops ... I do have one cultural link to the old world ... I go to an Oktoberfest every September. But that's it. I don't speak German and I don't demand voting instructions in German.

    So you're the people who slaughtered the buffalo and sent the Indians to reservations. I heard you gave them smallpox blankets, too.

    You have a proud family and heritage, don't insult their memory by diluting what they sacrificed for.
